I wouldn't say don't declare war on Russia, I would say take down Great Britain first, then take all the other European countries like Hungary, Sweden etc., then invade Russia (with winter gear) starting in end of winter too allow as much warm fighting as possible.

Since the best possible outcome is Hitler and the rest of his bully boys hanging by the neck...

Declare war on the United States on the First of December of 1940.

OR
Destroy the French will to fight by attacking and overwhelming the Maginot Line. Surprise the enemy by attacking no later than December 15, 1939.
OR
Send 18 divisions of infantry to assist your Japanese partners in June of 1939. Don't worry about sending tanks or aircraft. The Chinese are so backward that infantry is all you will need. The Heer's remaining troops are more than sufficient to defeat the Poles.
OR
Invade Russia, then declare war on the United States six months later. (Oops, he thought of this one on his own.)

Now IF I wanted the Reich to survive:

After France falls draft the designers of the Maginot Line, put 100% of Germany's construction resources to work building a defensive line starting at Danzig down to the Polish/Czech/Romanian border. Stop work on ALL naval construction and use the resources to build these defenses and arm them. Back up the line with tank heavy mobile forces. Pray that you can convince the UK and U.S. that you are a staunch anti-communist fighting the Red Menace.​
 
Tell him the future is in massive battle zeplins and you can invade Britan if you Build one massive one that holds all your armies
 
The problem and the ulterior tragedy for Germany was that Hitler was too stubborn and fool to follow any suggestion from the military ( Stalingrad, D-Day and Ardennes the most famous examples, but there are much more), so for a certain verse this thread is ASB: Hitler will never accepted any of your suggestions.
 
Don't get involved in any aggressive military ventures - there's no profit in empire building, you'll only make loads of enemies. Concentrate on domestic issues - your best course of action is to loot the treasury and skip off to South America before anyone realises what you've done. That way, you're in with a chance of leading a long and happy life. Pick fights with other countries and you'll be dead before your time.

Very cunning! You seem to want Hitler to take... forever staring across the Channel failing to build a navy to match Britain's, invading friendly neutrals/allies, until Stalin has finished unpurging the Red Army and prepares to crash through the Germans. A formidable anti fascist, I see!
